A vehicle (2) comprises sensor units (10) for collecting sensor data, and a processing unit (11) for processing the sensor data. A method of providing driving assistance information comprises the steps of: determining the cost (c) of pairs (30, 31, 32) of acceleration values on the basis of the sensor data, each pair of acceleration values representing a longitudinal (a lon) and a lateral (a lat) acceleration of the vehicle, —selecting a pair (32) of least cost acceleration values, and—providing driving assistance information including the pair of least cost acceleration values. The processing unit (10) may be arranged for providing visible, audible and/or haptic driving assistance information to the driver of the vehicle, and/or for providing steering assistance.
A system for providing driving assistance information for a vehicle, using a cost function that defines costs of pairs of acceleration values, each pair of acceleration values representing a longitudinal and a lateral acceleration of the vehicle, the cost function involving the occurrence of a collision and a measure of comfort of the driver as a function of the pairs of acceleration values, the system comprising:
A method of providing driving assistance information for a vehicle comprising sensor units for collecting sensor data concerning the vehicle and its surroundings, and a processing unit for processing the sensor data, the method making use of a cost function that defines costs of pairs of acceleration values, each pair of acceleration values representing a longitudinal and a lateral acceleration of the vehicle, the cost function defining the cost of each pair involving the occurrence of a collision and a measure of comfort of the driver, the method comprising the steps of:
A non-transitory computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions that are configured to cause a programmable computer to carry out, for a vehicle comprising sensor units for collecting sensor data concerning the vehicle and its surroundings, and the programmable computer processing the sensor data and making use of a cost function that defines costs of pairs of acceleration values, each pair of acceleration values representing a longitudinal and a lateral acceleration of the vehicle, the cost function defining the cost of each pair involving the occurrence of a collision and a measure of comfort of the driver, the steps of:
